1948 Packard 8 Deluxe Deluxe Description

Hello to all eBayers!
I have been with eBay for several years and I want to keep my reputation here 100% positive. I am a private collector, who has endless passion for classic cars and trucks. 90% of the vehicles have been rented out to movies commercials or high-class parties. Right now, I’m liquidating my collection since I’m selling my warehouse.
Are you an old vehicles connoisseur looking for classic/vintage vehicles without having to pay luxury prices? You are in the right place!... I know that magic feeling when the right quality meets the right price, so I sell my vehicles worldwide at the most reasonable prices. I bought this vehicle with the intention of bringing it to California to add to my collection.
This 1948 PACKARD is located in a Copart facility in HILLSBOROUGH, NJ . I tried to sell it on Copart, but this vehicle is a classic clean vehicle, and this auction yard is not the best place to sell it.
This vehicle has a clear NJ Title. If you need to get a CA title for this vehicle, I can help you with that for an additional fee.
Please note, I want to make sure that you are absolutely satisfied with your purchase. Bid with confidence and if you have any questions that I might not have covered in the description, don't hesitate to ask. You can email me or send me your telephone number and I will give you a call. I have tried my best to describe this vehicle as accurately as I can. People have different opinions and expectations of older vehicles. It is your responsibility to inspect the vehicle or send a third party inspector for your satisfaction. Remember, this car is from the 1940’s and can have some imperfections that I'm not aware of.
1948 Packard Deluxe 8
Packard was an American luxury automobile marque built by the Packard Motor Car Company of Detroit, Michigan, United States. The first Packard automobiles were produced in 1899, and the last true Packard in 1956.
Packard Touring Sedan was very notable for 1948, representing the firm's Twenty-Second Series. It wore groundbreaking new "Free-flow styling," which featured fully integrated front and rear fenders. The aerodynamic body was forward-thinking, but Packard's traditional grille shape was retained to satisfy traditionalists.
Also traditional was this car's five-main bearing, . L-head straight-eight, an engine used only in the standard and Deluxe Eight lines.
Mechanical
This car has a great running straight 8 engine and a 3-speed on the column that shifts great through all the gears. The car drives without issues. Clutch grabs a bit high, but no slippage.
Exterior
The exterior is very presentable. Some re-chroming was done on the car and it looks great! The paint has some minor imperfection spots but you really have to look closely to see, but the overall appearance of car is very nice. Also it has some undercarriage imperfections expected from a 70-year-old car.
Interior
The interior looks amazing for its age! Original radio kind of works on and off but it may be an antenna related issue. Original clock has been rebuilt and now works electronically, but with original clock! The dash is complete.
It’s a pleasure to own this great classic!
Shipping
Buyer is responsible for shipping costs. I can cooperate with your shipper. This vehicle is advertised on other websites, so I have the right to end the auction early if it gets sold. I'm not a dealer, but just a very passionate collector of classic cars and trucks.
Payment
Please, be ready to buy when you click. A non-refundable $500 deposit is due when the auction ends. The final payment is due within 7 days after the auction ends. Balance is to be paid via bank wire or a certified bank cashier's check. Check will need to clear before the vehicle is released and the title is sent. The winning bidder needs to contact me within 24 hours of auction end to make payment arrangements. Please, arrange all financing prior to bidding. If you are not sure about anything, please don’t assume - just ask. I'm very easy going and will help in any way I can, but, please, be absolutely sure that you are ready to buy when you bid. All non-paying bidders will be reported to eBay.
Disclaimer
People have different opinions and expectations of older vehicles. It is your responsibility to personally inspect the vehicle or send a third-party inspector that will perform an inspection to your satisfaction. Remember, this vehicle is from the 1940’s, and even though I’ve tried my best to describe it, it can have some imperfections which I’m not aware of.
I’m saying this because I’ve had a bad experience with a ruthless dealer that tried to extort money from me after the car was inspected and delivered! If you are buying and paying for this classic, please contact your transporter after vehicle is picked up and within 2 hours please give me a positive feedback!
This is your chance to own a great classic at a great price!
